Many of us were raised with parents that were so loyal to the system and it’s promise of the future reward at the time of retirement. Often these patriarchal hard working authoritative parents would turn a blind eye to what was unjust only to keep their eye on the target and stay loyal to the ways of their strict predecessors.
The target was retirement and they were led to believe that the company would take care of them. “Be loyal and you will get the reward for all of that silent suffering and hard work.” Often these same parents would scrutinize artistic dreams because in their eyes, these dreams were an unsafe bet. They made safe decisions to have security, but generations later, we know that our security lies in our own hands.
This ‘be loyal hard work ethic’ left an imprint and it shows up in many ways; spousal relationships of abuse, career abuse, saying ‘yes’ when you really want to say ‘no,’ it will eventually get so expensive that it shows up in your health and happiness factor.
Maybe as a child you clearly saw their out of balance loyalties, only to discover decades later that you too are following the loyal ways of the tribe.
It can be extremely unsettling when we realize how truly loyal we are on an unconscious level and the consequences of how that shows up in our own lives.
I invite you to look further into the conscious and unconscious loyalties that you are honouring. It is powerful to see how your elders have subliminally influenced your code of ethics.
Is it time to retire some old belief systems? At the end of the day, you aren’t being disloyal to them, you are being disloyal to yourself.
When you choose to be loyal to you first, you won’t get a gold watch, but you will get your life back!
Is it time to invest in your future in a different way that brings you a stress free life? I can help you to redefine your loyalty to you.
